The idea that the essence of scientific investigation is the production of knowledge and that scientific literature constitutes a manifestation of this knowledge means that bibliometric approaches portray science through its results. These groups can be identified by their co-authorship, by grouping together all those authors who were directly or indirectly involved in writing the scientific papers. In this study, the authors analyze the reception of psychoanalysis and the development of ideas on psychology in Argentina, as well as the role played in this field by Spaniard Angel Garma, based on both biographical and quantitative data.
